MEMPHIS has certainly endured painful, humiliating beatdowns of this magnitude. I almost gave up on football when Arkansas State smoked MEMPHIS 47-3 in Porter's disastrous final season (2011).

It is just mindboggling to see ECU fall this far this fast. Stay loyal, ECU fans. This too shall pass.

Every fan base has fair weather fans. ECU is not exempt from it. Those of us with families that have multiple generations of graduates and have followed the program for 60+ plus years are not suddenly going to put a fcking bag on our heads and make fools of ourselves. We will be there pulling for the kids...win or lose. Every program has ups and downs. My father graduated in 1957. He can tell you of MUCH worse than we are experiencing now. I guess people just don't know our history.

Modern kids don't have patience. It's why so many teams play in front of half-empty crowds, even at big time programs. These fickle people are the future donors of athletic programs.


Damn kids with your rap music.

Don't get me started. Id like to put a leash on whoever is choosing the music in DFS. Its an assault on the senses. 04-cheers



LOL... now its rap music's fault we come out unmotivated?

Now I am one step closer to hearing everything.

Lets break out some Slayer Raining Blood when we raise the No Quarter flag then! That'll perk up some ears.

Or maybe average kids incurring debt to go to college aren't enamored with prima donnas that are in college because because they can play football getting a pampered free ride.

Just want to put it out there that I was joking lol. Just think it's funny when people think that it's a shiny brand new idea to claim that the kids "today" are the worst ever.

Also funny to go through the transition. When I was in my early 20's, and every idiot over 50 was calling my generation terrible, I'd point out they should be thankful for my social security payments, considering they all seem to be working longer due to poor saving habits and living on credit.

Fast forward 15 years, and I keep having to catch myself from yelling "damn millennials with your phones and your tinder and your dress socks with shorts for some reason".

I just have to remember that, like the current generation of kids and the ones before me, my generation was the worst at one point too.

It's weird isn't it.

Things I did like. We were able to get TFL and the OL didn't seem as bad schematically. Besides an early mistake, I'm glad Spellacy is getting PT in the fire.

Things that are extremely disappointing AND a sign of horrific coaching: DBs completely losing receivers, LBs playing so far off the line and lack of aggressive defensive playcalling, questionable offensive philosophy.

My cousin played his last season last year and told me that Mo has the framework of a fantastic head coach, but the substance isn't all the way there. He said that Ruff had the substance and not the framework.

Too bad we can't meld them into one. Scottie MoNeil if you will.

This is always a topic that spurs an emotional response. I was a PC chapter president for about 10 years. I can tell you that the football program is a major deal at most universities. It is a researched fact that the boosters of the football programs and athletics in general are also the boosters of the universities as a whole. Athletics tend to be the catalyst that drives graduates to donate back to the school in other ways through alumni associations and University foundations. Lets keep in mind also that much of the scholarship dollar for athletics is privately donated through booster clubs like the Pirate Club at ECU. The entire University benefits from this...not just the Athletic programs.
